You know, it's funny. When I first got here, when I found out about what had been going on in this city... part of me wondered how the place could survive. A lot has happened since the first police force disappeared. There's been a lot of destruction, a lot of people have died. Back then, I thought that any city dealing with the things that happen here would start to decline. People would get scared, lose faith, go someplace safer.
I've been looking at some data. Last night the police responded to a fight over a motel room. The entire building was booked. The night before that, there was a dispute over apartment space, the last one available in the complex. Before the pigeons and rats, there were noise complaints about a block party for people who'd just moved in. There's more incidents like that, a lot of them.
I'm glad this place seems to be growing in spite of everything, that people still want to live here. Still, it's strange. You wouldn't expect to see this many people coming to a place that can be this dangerous. I don't think it's an issue, I'm just curious. Has anybody else noticed anything like this? Has anyone got an idea why this is happening?
POLICE FILTER
We've still got open cases and suspects at large. I want a report on what people are working on and whether there's anything new I need to know about. If there are new people coming to this City, then let's make sure they stay safe while they're here.
